From bridesmaid goals to weight loss wonder – Sarah’s 6 stone success
When Sarah Ashston walked through the doors of our Slimming World group on 15 November 2023, she had one clear goal in mind: to feel amazing and confident as she stood by her brother’s side as a bridesmaid in May this year. What she didn’t know then was just how far her determination, commitment, and positivity would take her.
Fast forward to today, and Sarah has achieved something truly remarkable, she has shed nearly 6 stone and is powering towards her official 6 stone award. Her transformation is not just about the numbers on the scales; it’s about the confidence, energy, and joy that now radiate from her.
Sarah’s journey has been one of consistency and focus. She embraced the Slimming World plan wholeheartedly, showing up week after week, celebrating the wins, and learning from the challenges. As a vegetarian, she’s also shown just how flexible Food Optimising can be, proving that no matter your lifestyle, the plan fits around you. Her dedication didn’t stop there, she’s now working with a personal trainer, has joined the gym, and is taking her health and fitness to the next level.
Her consultant, Kayleigh, shared: “I couldn't be more proud of Sarah, she has truly embraced Food Optimising... her determination and focus is such an inspiration to all members of our group and no matter what obstacles stand in her way she continues to follow the plan and takes steps towards her Target.”
And in Sarah’s own words: “I came in to Slimming World shy and quiet, barely knowing anyone. Not only have I lost nearly 6 stone, but I’ve made some fantastic friends who have supported me from day one. I don’t feel like I’m on my weight loss journey on my own — especially with Kayleigh and our group to help every step of the way. If I ask questions, no matter how daft I think they are, someone will always have an answer to help me.”
Recently, Sarah has even joined forces with Kayleigh to help promote their Slimming World group, spreading the word that this truly is the place to be for anyone wanting to change their life for the better. Her story, her energy, and her genuine passion for helping others make her the perfect ambassador for what Slimming World stands for.
Her journey is a shining example of what can be achieved when you set your mind to something and refuse to give up. Sarah has inspired so many in our group, not just with her incredible weight loss, but with her warm encouragement, her willingness to share tips, and her infectious enthusiasm for life.
As she edges closer to her 6 stone award, we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate her success. Sarah, you are living proof that with the right mindset, the right support, and a sprinkle of self-belief, amazing things can happen.
Here’s to you, Sarah, and to the next exciting chapter of your journey.
We are always welcoming new members to join our fabulous friendly group! Every Wednesday evening at the Aquarius Ballroom, Hednesford, Ws12 1BT at 5.30pm and 7pm.
